All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We really enjoyed watercycling. The fellows did an amazing job of getting us into and out of the water. We definately would go again. The cycles were easy to pedel and felt safe.

Everyone involved in this excursion wa super helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. They put our anxieties o rat and provided great information nd fostered friendly md safe at,osphere for our snorkeling adventure. While some of the add ons, like a wet suit, for sure should be included we felt that it was worth every penny. We saw 10+ species of tropical fish and even got to the back side of the crater where the ocean is crystal clear and falls off into a blue abyss! It was a little scary for those of us that were not strong swimmers but they provided extra floatation for those who desired and stayed near by in case a quick exit was needed and a,so had at least 1 crew member for every 6 of us on the tour. Fear not and just do it.

From the moment we checked in for our experience, we felt at home. The crew immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. During the beach training session, we felt like we were part of a community before we even got in the boat. Once we set out our guide, Puni, was kind, informative and funny. We would definitely do this again!

We had an incredible time on the cultural canoe tour with We Paddle Maui! Our guides Puni, Ivan, and Jesus were awesome! The owner Fabio was great to work with as well! He answered our questions and was very kind! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour! It felt like we were getting a genuine look at the culture of Maui. Puni shared stories with us about Maui, the wildlife, and more. We were very fortunate to be paddling at a time when the whales were here. This made for an even better experience to see whales breaching and to see a mom and calf together in the water from afar. We learned a few Hawaiian words used in paddling, Ivan recited a Hawaiian prayer, and we had a little friendly race with the other boat toward the end. The guides were friendly, professional, and made the tour so much fun! THANK YOU We Paddle Maui! This has been the highlight of our trip!
Team Puni for the win! 🤙

We had an awesome first day of our trip at 'We Paddle Maui'! Our guides Ivan, Puni, and Jesus showed us the ropes and gave us a run down on these authentic Hawaiian style canoes. We had a truly wholesome experience as we paddled out into the ocean, whales breaching in the distance, stories of the culture exchanged, and knowledge of the sport passed along. I reccomend everyone visiting the island to book a tour with this company, as we left feeling closer to the culture, land, and wildlife! Thanks again to all of our guides, and Fabio, for a great time! We will be back!!

Team Puni for the win!! 🤙🤙🤙

Our guides Jesus,Jonathan and Ivan taught us about the history of the outrigger and how to paddle as one. We saw whales fairly close and enjoyed a smooth journey.

I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.

- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).

最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。

・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした（支払う価値ありです）

The crew and especially UA gave our family such a memorable experience. Highly recommend over the boat tours. Experience native Hawaiian culture through those that can share it best.

Really loved this experience for being my first time on a water bike. The water bikes felt even easier to ride than a kayak!

The guide had been stood up by his colleague so was operating solo and was so obviously out of his depth. He was very likeable and put in a lot of effort but kept forgetting things and kept going over the same things. It took an age just to get us into the water.
A pleasurable fun day but we won't be using them again.

I am now a HUGE fan of these bikes. I just booked this tour to keep my husband busy and It was the perfect way to start our vacation. K since I can’t remember is beautiful name was an awesome guide. My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for that particular day and to have the guide all to ourselves was a special treat. K was so informative and kept up or slowed down to our pace and we got to hang with the turtles in the area.
I highly recommend adding this water bike tour to your itinerary.

Don't worry that it's your first time snorkeling! John will kindly teach you how to drive a kayak, jump out of the middle of the ocean in a kayak and snorkel! If you have a waterproof phone case, it will help you take pictures of beautiful scenery and marine animals during your activities. You can meet monkseals, turtles, cute various fish, and octopus up close! Don't miss the best experience!

Me and my older kids all had such a good time together, and these are the moments that matter most!

Me and my daughter were able to stand up thanks to our instructor. fabulous company!

My family had a great time, it is early in the morning so just make sure to have your muscles read nice and early!

the snorkeling was incredible and the crew was fantastic!! would recommend them 1000% and take the tour every trip to maui. thank you

Despite everything saying advanced swimmer only, I was with two people who could not swim. Both of them required rescue by the guide. I spent the majority of the time bobbing in the water by the beach - waiting for them to get swim lessons. There are many rocks there and I ended up breaking my toe while getting slammed by waves. I was able to scooter around the cove twice even with a throbbing toe. I’m sure the guide could feel that I was irritated and I wanted the experience to end ASAP. The reason for the bad review is that no one even followed up or offered me some money back. Take home point: I would not spend my hard earned vacation money on this again.

*** Refund was issued after Veltra/Hawaii Activities reached out. This was very nice of the owner, but it doesn't change my experience and I did not edit my original review.

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

So amazing!! We loved every second of our snorkeling adventure. Our local guide made us feel very comfortable and made sure our safety was his top priority. We will never forget this trip!!

Crew was entertaining and extremely helping in making the trip safe and fun, wil book again on our next trip

Nice and easy water cycling, first time doing it but caught on quick!

Barbie is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. She also makes sure you feel comfortable and prepared in the water. The scooters are easy to use, and I highly recommend paying a bit extra for the floatation wet suits (for ease and extra warmth in the water) and the go pro for must have videos!
We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with Barbie! We saw numerous fish, bright coral, turtles and a monk seal! It was a memory to last a lifetime. If you are inexperienced, do not hesitate to take this tour!

I really enjoyed this experience, as my instructor got me up on waves which is the goal and felt amazing!

The instructor was great. Helpful, fun and kind. Ended up with a group of 3 students. If there has been the full class of 4 the day might have seemed a bit slow as a lot of the time is spent waiting for waves and taking turns.

John was an awesome guide. Perfect excursion, we got to swim with turtles, touched an octopus and watched a Manta Ray swim beneath us. Excellent tour !!!

The tour guide took us into the ocean beyond the cruise ship (as in the picture below). We saw whales and heard a whale singing from under the Kayaks. Most beautiful experience. I’m not a pro at kayaking, but the guide was always looking out to keep us up with the more avid kayakers. He had all the answers to our questions. Could not snorkel that day as the water was murky. Had a wonderful time. I would do it all over again given the chance.

Great way to spend a morning on the beautiful blue water of Wailea. We saw turtles swimming around us, whales off in the distance, and held a pencil urchin. The guys that run this are so nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.

This was an incredibly fun experience. What a great way to see the island. The first half was kayaking and snorkeling which was so fun—Jeremiah (Miah) was a knowledgeable and patient instructor. The second half was lunch and then a water fall hike with Nick from HikeMaui—Nick was a kind and intelligent guide and taught us so much about Maui. We also toured a farm and learned a lot about fruits and botany grown in Hawaii. 10/10 experience.

We spent a wonderful half day. Saw many fish, corals & one turtle. The crew was helpful & joking with us the whole time. Food was nice & tasty.

Knowledgeable and fun crew. Lots of positive energy and the food was tasty.
